Hi,

I plan to build a community-driven website about skiing. I had previously worked on other cmses but get in touch recently with drupal (finally!) and its warm community. So I decide to use it for my project. Here are the main parts of the site:
- news
- photo gallery
- video gallery
- user personal page with photos and videos
I would likely add a shopping cart once the site runs smoothly but now I want to focus mainly on these listed parts. So first, can someone gimme some guidelines on what modules to use based on this list?

Regards.
Jo.

news = doesn't need a module. Add a new content type call it 'news'. Create a taxonomy for it so you can tag your news with categories.

photo gallery = investigate the media category. There is more than one way to do this and only you can decide on the feature set you want.

video gallery = see photo gallery

you can use views.module to list content in any way you want.

Thanks. Then I'll investigate the media category. And for the user personal page, is it possible?

Sorry, thats where the views.module will come into play. Though drupal also has a built in tracker that lists all content a user either comments on or starts. ie: go to your profile here on drupal.org and click on your own tracker.

One of the best books on the market for this would be using drupal. http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&keywords=using%20drupal&index=books

This book walks you through how to install an online store. This is a great book for your library.

Ok. Let's hope I'll find my way through this.
